Abstract

"The exopolysaccharide (EPS) separated from the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae was determined by gel permeation chromatography to be homogeneous. The high - performance anion - exchange chromatography with pulsed - amperometric detection (HPAE - PAD) showed a content of monosaccharides D - galactosamine and D - fucose at a molar ratio of about 2:1. The results obtained from Fourier transform - infra red spectroscopy (FT - IR) and second derivative FT - IR spectrum confirmed the proposed structure."
